JEDDAH: Most people have several fragrances on rotation, adding a new scent every month or year. But collectors like Mohammed Abu Hajar, who acquire hundreds of blends, take their love of fragrance to another level.
Arab News spoke to Abu Hajar, one of Saudi Arabia’s renowned niche perfume experts, critics, and collectors.
He is known for his collaborations with established perfume houses to create specific fragrances and for his extensive knowledge shared as an influencer and a private museum owner.
With a collection of more than 6,000 perfume bottles in his home, he has earned a reputation not only for searching for rare and iconic fragrances but also for his deep understanding of the stories, craftsmanship, and heritage behind them.
Abu Hajar’s passion for perfumery began in Paris, where he was studying for a bachelor’s degree and has since evolved into an extraordinary personal journey marked by dedication.
